Suzuki delighted with Bautista?s race

Suzuki team boss Paul Denning says Alvaro Bautista's seventh place in Germany was an important step forward and shows that the squad is getting closer to the lead pace. Bautista defeated the two factory Ducatis to take the position, behind the four factory-specification Hondas and the two works Yamahas - defeat having been left battered by a heavy crash in the warm-up. "I think we showed this weekend at Sachsenring - a track that has traditionally been very tough for Suzuki - that both the GSV-R and the rider have made good steps in 2011 - despite the bad luck and huge injury at the start of the season," Denning said
